In my league, a player that only ran 11 races in the last championship, at the beginning of next season, he has all car stats at 50 (except 2), excluding all bonuses. He changed 1 time CD.
I think it is a bug, isn't it?
It's a known effect of switching leagues but I don't know if it's considered a bug. If someone enters a league his current car stats gets reseted, but not the next cars 'design pool'. So he collects points during all the races of the then ongoing season before he quit his former league and added on top for all the races of the first season in the new league. So if those two (partial) seasons together add up enough races it usually means all starting attributes hit the cap (50 in Elite) except for the CDs weakness, but that also can be maxed if 2 CDs with different weaknesses are used during that time.
I don't think it's an important issue but I agree that how car design is handled during a league change could use a rework. Some more design points for the first season and making sure that development for the normal amount of races, 17 currently, goes into the second season car.
